Why stop there. Do like a lot of PO would do. Do a half a$$ job of taping off the old emblems and a few other things and paint everything under the hood body color

Get a spare cover and paint it black. Then you can switch back and forth depending on your mood...

I am going to do it right and paint it black. Except this time, I am going to media blast it down, epoxy prime it and use an automotive grade base/clear job on it. I have some black basecoat laying around somewhere. It should be spiffy in the end.

I am tempted to put the decals on the base coat and clear-coat over them to protect them.

Just don't know how resilient they are to the harsh clear-coat chemicals.

Thoughts/opinions?

Ask Shane directly about the clear coat

Pretty nifty. They look like hub covers for a heavy truck?
